ITS Day 2011
McClure ITS School Hosts “Technapalooza” – Ali Myers
The McClure School of Information and Telecommunication Systems held its annual ITS Day Thursday, May 12, in Baker University Center.
This year’s event, named “Technapalooza”, featured many speakers from the ITS profession who presented on a wide array of topics, including issues about the broadband landscape in Ohio. An alumni panel was also in attendance to speak on the topic of career progression.
New to the event this year was a technology fair which featured vendors from AT&T, Sprint, Verizon Wireless, Attevo and Cisco Systems who showcased their latest technology.
“We were focused on delivering a hands- on technology experience while encouraging students to learn more by attending our speaker series,” said Garon Gentzel, a National Account Manager at Sprint and a member of the ITS Advisory Board.
"We were promoting new products and offering discounts to students and faculty. We featured some products such as the new Android Open Source that can aid people who want to build apps, and ITS majors can do that,” said AT&T Sales Representative Aaron Seitz.
A student awards banquet at the Ohio University Inn wrapped up the day’s events.
Shawn Tignor was presented with the Outstanding Graduating Senior Award.
